Hi there, I’m Katharina and I joined DataCite in October 2024 as the new Finance Manager. I wanted to take a moment to share a bit more about myself—my background, experience, and what I hope to bring to our team and community. My journey to science and data started with a passion for biology at school and continued at university while studying Plant Sciences.
Climate change is the greatest global health threat facing the world in the 21st century. Climate change profoundly impacts public health and well being through, for example, extreme weather and climate events, the spread of infectious diseases, and ecosystem degradation.
The Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF) Event Fellowship program aims to promote diverse participation at events promoting open-source bioinformatics software development and open science practices in the biological research community.

The 2021 UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science sets out an ambitious vision for transforming research towards making science a global public good. In addition to continued support for the increased openness of research products (publications, data, software), this document foregrounds the transformative potential of open research practices to enhance equity and inclusiveness within global research.
This year, I’ve helped build the Idaho Secretary of State’s office’s election results website for both the primary and general elections. Working with election data is a complex process, with each precinct reporting results to their parent counties, which all use different systems and software and candidate identifiers.
Privacy in data systems has traditionally focused on protecting sensitive information as it enters a system - what we call input privacy. However, as systems become more complex and capable of inferring sensitive information from seemingly harmless data, the importance of output privacy has gained significant attention. Let’s explore these two crucial aspects of privacy protection and understand how different techniques address them.
Methods for comparing spatial patterns in raster data This is the fourth part of a blog post series on comparing spatial patterns in raster data. More information about the whole series can be found in part one. This blog post focuses on the comparison of spatial patterns in categorical raster data for overlapping regions.
Connectivity measures how well research objects or collections of research objects are identified and connected to the global research infrastructure through the PID Graph. These connections depend on identifiers for all kinds of research objects. Here I focus on people and organizations, typically identified by ORCIDs and RORs.

Over time, I gathered a bunch of helpful mental models to manage my work and motivate myself. These mental models can be applied in professional work, but also in private life at times. I often forget these are things I learned at some point, so I am writing them up for my Startup Therapy series as they come to me. Just in case they may prove helpful for someone at some point 😊 Today's mental model: Input tasks and output tasks.
Students of programming are often encouraged to use AI assistants with little consideration for their perceptions and preferences. How do students perceptions influence their usage of AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) in undergraduate programming courses? How does the use of tools like ChatGPT and GitHub CoPilot relate to students self-belief in their own programming abilities?
